About the Filmmakers:

Taymah Armatrading

Taymah’s work is dedicated to ideas of decolonization and analysis of contemporary intersections of race, sexuality and gender. Their work explores issues of representation, with a focus on reclaiming colonial spaces and reinstating power to silenced marginalized bodies, through media such as film, sculpture and installation.

After studying for his Bachelor of Design in Graphic Design at Azad University of Tehran, he decided to continue his studies abroad and is now majoring in Integrated Media at OCAD University.
